Still recovering from ailment Veltkamp (shoulder) is still recovering from his injury and isn't throwing deep balls this spring, per Yianni Kourakis of WPBF 25 News.

Impact Veltkamp isn't a full go this spring for the Owls. The gunslinger, who tossed for 3,641 yards, 24 touchdowns and 17 interceptions last season while completing 67 percent of his passes, will look to return to full health by fall camp.

On track to throw in spring game Veltkamp (shoulder) is on track to throw the football during Florida Atlantic's spring game, FAU Owls Nest reports.

Impact After undergoing shoulder surgery, Veltkamp is still recovering, but his health may no longer be an offseason concern should Florida Atlantic's spring game include him. The quarterback has until April 17 to recover, a three-plus-week timeline to get his shoulder right.

MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE

Will be limited during spring Veltkamp (shoulder) will be limited until the last two weeks of Florida Atlantic's spring practice, FAU Owls Nest reports.

Impact Veltkamp underwent shoulder surgery, which explains why he is limited as Florida Atlantic's team begins its spring practice. It ends on April 17, so he will spend all of March on the mend. Once the next month hits, Veltkamp is expected to make positive progress, though that does not ensure he becomes 100 percent before spring practice finishes.

MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE

Returning to Florida Atlantic Veltkamp is returning to Florida Atlantic for 2026, according to his X account.

Impact Having redshirted 2022, Veltkamp has one year of collegiate eligibility remaining, and he will use its remainder with Florida Atlantic. Transferring from Western Kentucky to FAU did present some challenges for the quarterback, who set a career-high in interceptions with 17 in 2025. However, it is worth noting that Veltkamp threw more than 500 passes for the first time in his career, which also earned him career highs in completed passes (345) and passing yards (3,641). Perhaps with a season of American Conference football under his belt, Veltkamp can be much more reliable in 2026.
